This week we journey into the memories of three giants to explore trauma and war and exactly what the nature of memory is in Drangleic. Then we take a trip to a beach we missed long ago, to learn more about boats, and coffins, and ourselves...
It's another action packed YHAFIM! Now with 11 whole deaths! We hope you enjoy!

After a week off for health and mental health for both of your intrepid co-host, Trevor and I are back to go exploring the Dragon Shrine.
This is a fun episode all about architecture and the intersections between real world design and game design. Also there's a lot of talk about anime, Philly sports, and a number of other tangentially related diversions.
Hope you enjoy! We'll be back next week with more and my hope is the week after will be back to a more regular schedule. <...

In this special extended episode of You Have A Friend in Majula, Derby smashes through the Shrine of Amana, learns about MILFs, and fights an armored-skin frog with a man-face. It's bad! But it's great! It's Peak Dark Souls 2, baby. Let's Go!

Tex has a rough day. But learns from his mistakes.
Maybe.

Derby's back to continue exploring the heights and depths of Drangleic Castle? Will she find the missing king? You'll have to watch and see!
In this episode we take Derby deep into the mining pits of Brightstone Cove Tseldora and find lots of spiders ... and one very big spider.
Seriously, if you have arachnophobia or are even just squicked out by spiders, after the 22 minute mark this LP gets very spider intensive.

This episode is a wild one! We continue our journey in the Shaded Ruins, sure. But all bets are off as we soften Petrified LION MEN, go ripshit on BASILISKS, and finally liberate a beloved BIRD WIFE.
Then... Everything changes.
Enjoy ;)

Go watch as Tex Murphy...
...Reads a newspaper (as voiced by me).
...Gets propositioned by a woman with extremely 90s hair in an extremely 90s dress.
...creates a semi-elaborate Ghost Clown Trap.
What a game!
It's clowns and chocolate sauce this week on Under a Killing Moon.
Also thanks to Pam (@jasyla_ / cannotbetamed ) we finally watch the intro movie! It's SO much!

We've made it through to another Derby Day and this episode is all about holes and rats and the subterranean world below Majula! Let's go exploring!

It's time for a new adventure!
Packing up our bags and leaving early 90s New Orleans, we head out to Old San Francisco in 2042 -- a bombed out city surrounded by nuclear devastation, peopled with mutants, why it's practically Fallout...
On this episode we get our bearings, read some background text, and pick up the threads of Tex's Next Big Mystery...
Thanks to everyone who voted in the Patreon poll for our next LP!
Skipping past the miserable Mean Streets and the bizarre Martian Memorandum, we're jumping into Tex Murphy's first full motion video epic, UNDER A KILLING MOON!
If you're unfamiliar it's a genuinely weird and wonderful game, and I'm super excited to dive into this one!
Look forward to Episode 1 next Tuesday!
Hi everyone!
After the audio disappointment from last episode, I wanted to go ahead and put out a proper talky one. And wouldn't you know it? We're at the end! The gripping, outlandish conclusion of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers!
I hope you enjoyed this series and are looking forward to the next LP. Which, if you're a patron at any time, please remember to vote in the poll for which game will take Gabe's place (it might even be the sequel!) Who can say? You of course!

Since we're rapidly closing in on the conclusion of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, it's time to choose what happens next!
I wanted to do a specifically FMV game, and while we could easily move on to Gabriel Knight 2, I wanted to leave that up to y'all.
So here are three of the champions of the FMV era, which are interestingly enough all sequels, and only one of them is a sequel to a previous (and really miserably bad) FMV game...
Hey everyone,
After a long hiatus, we're headed back to the 90s and New Orleans with Days 7 and 8 of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers.
Sadly, OBS devoured my audio track, so it's just game audio only. But this episode is chock full of campy voice acting and exposition so that's great at least.
Hope you enjoy! We'll be back soon (honestly, probably tomorrow) with the GRIPPING FINALE and then it'll be on to new and exciting LPs!
If you're a Patreon subscriber, make s...
We're back!
Hi everyone, sorry about the hiatus, I'd just been feeling completely wiped out the past two weeks and had zero recording verve. But now Trevor, Derby, and I are back to tackle Earthen Peak! We torch windmills, we make three new friends, and we trounce a baneful queen. Derby reinvests in herself and finally ditches the Fire Longsword! It's a big two hours! Hope you enjoy!

On this episode, the Huntsman's Copse tests my startle response extensively and Trevor and I talk about dungeon design before we murder a whole bunch of skeletons and switch gears to talking about how cool skeletons are.

It's time to explore Belfry Luna and say farewell to our first big narrative and spatial spoke in Drangleic.
Also there are gargoyles.
Also, also, in the spirit of feeling my age, I injure myself during a boss fight.
It's a good time for all!

Hi everyone! After a week off for utter exhaustion, Derby is back and ready to take on the Lost Bastille once and for all! Unfortunately Newtonian Physics is there to get in her way, but Derby overcomes the tyranny of gravity and triumphs in the face of adversity, only to face new challenges! It's an extra big episode with fierce combat, big lore, bigger jokes, and tangents-aplenty! Enjoy!

We went to the Lost Bastille expecting an easy time.
We were wrong. We were so, so wrong.

Trevor and I start the new year by returning to No Man's Wharf and after shaking out the cobwebs, wrecking shop. We also take some time out for a lengthy Item Description dive.
Come wheel, come deal!
It's the end of the year and Trevor and I close it out with a chaotic cliffhanger as Derby ventures deep into the Goonies-tastic NO MAN'S WHARF!
Hope you enjoy it everyone, thank you for all your support this year, we'll see you again in 2022!
In the latest episode, Derby, Trevor and Dia fight a Dragonrider, a Dragonslayer, and a Dragon. Also... Armourer Dennis makes an appearance.

Derby's back and this time gunning for vengeance against a Pursuer who done her wrong...
Join me and Trevor Strunk as we continue our delve into the Forest of Fallen Giants, after a brief interlude in our friend Cale's squatter mansion...
Episode 2 of YOU HAVE A FRIEND IN MAJULA is live! Join me and Trevor Strunk of No Cartridge once again as we begin Derby's adventures in Drangleic in earnest!
This time we mosey around The Forest of Fallen Giants and talk about the peculiar relationship to space that Dark Souls 2 adopts, meet some weirdos, and have our first death!

Derby returns!
It's a new game, a new world, and...a new Derby? Come join me and series co-host Trevor Strunk of No Cartridge as we confront questions of authenticity, identity, and meaning in the face of sequel and emendation. How does time flow in Drangleic and what does that mean for spatiality? Who's the fourth firekeeper and where did all the rest go and just how miserable are these big, big souls?
Well I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of all this and more in this Let...

Normally I'd have uploaded this next Friday, but I was too excited to wait!
Here it is, the unexpected finale to With Love From Lordran! Derby concludes her adventures in Lordran and Dark Souls: Remastered with this last nearly two hour romp through Oolacile and then through the door into the Kiln of the First Flame.
What will Derby's ultimate decision be when she meets the divine king Lord Gwyn in combat? You'll have to watch and find out!
Thank you to everyone who ...
